What to do about 'S' threat - trigger warning

I have a sibling whom I am estranged with. Our relationship is beyond repair. All she did for years was sprew venom and she harassed me for years.

Out from nowhere again last week, she contacted me through email where she continued to berate me and make little of me while demanding I apologise for old rows. I made a threat of going to the police. She usually mocks that and it doesn't scare her and she continues. I acted on it and I meant it. She sent me an email blaming about joking about her depression. I wasn't aware she had depression by the way and then she made a threat on suicide. At that stage, I rang the local police station and asked for their email address and I forwarded the suicide emails to the police station. She was furious. My intention wasn't to anger her. To be honest, I thought it was manipulation and I thought nothing of it.

Since last week, she went all quite and silent on me. Usually when she starts berating me, it takes her forever to stop. I find it unusual that she stopped (for now).

Not only this, I am aware of an account that she has on another forum and she hasn't logged in since last week. I think that's unusual from her. Unless she made herself sick and tired from her recent anger and berating episode.

I don't know what to think of it.
I don't know if she's lying dead in an apartment somewhere or if she got a fright and stopped or if it's further manipulation from her - like going silent to give the illusion that she carried out her threat, just to worry me.

I don't know if the cops acted out the suicide threat by the way because the threat wasn't overt. It was hidden in a rant by her saying - guess I will be following X into the grave.

I don't know if she's lying dead in an apartment somewhere. I thought about contacting a mutual person to see if she's OK but it will only be used to berate me if she is alive with something like - 'how dare you pretend you care'.

What's one more unpleasant comment on top of all the others? Ask the friend. If your sister responds badly, block her on email maybe. (I'm sure she's ok BTW.) x

I forgot she had twitter. I had a look and she posted at the weekend.

She's absolute cow. She went quite on the platform I know about just to give the illusion that she topped herself after her threat. I knew she was bad but that. I was worried she was lying dead in an apartment somewhere with no one to find her.

She sounds toxic. Why are you even engaging with her?
